摘要

The ion saturation current is very important in probe theory,which can be used to measure the electron temperature and the floating potential.In this work,the effects of energetic ions on the ion saturation current are studied via particle-in-cell simulations.It is found that the energetic ions and background ions can be treated separately as different species,and they satisfy their individual Bohm criterion at the sheath edge.It is shown that the energetic ions can significantly affect the ion saturation current if their concentration is greater than √Te/(γi2Ti2),where Te is the electron temperature,and γi2 and Ti2 represent the polytropic coefficient and temperature of energetic ions,respectively.As a result,the floating potential and the Ⅰ-Ⅴ characteristic profile are strongly influenced by the energetic ions.When the energetic ion current dominates the ion saturation current,an analysis of the ion saturation current will yield the energetic ion temperature rather than the electron temperature.
